This Jet action provides an interface to the Tratz-Hovy USC/ISI dependency parser, which uses
the easy-first parsing algorithm developed by Yoav Goldberg.  The resulting dependency
relations are stored in the relations property of a Jet Document.
<br><br>
If <tt>DepParser.transformations</tt> is not null, 3 transformations of the tree are performed
after the parse:
<ul>
  <li>verb chains are reversed so the main (final) verb is on top</li>
  <li>passives are converted to active clauses</li>
  <li>prepositions are incorporated into prep arc labels</li>
</ul>
